CONWAY — A group of 10 or so people gathered at Schouler Park in Saturday's sweltering heat in the low 90s to protest for Black Lives Matter. 

A trio of teens organized the protest. It was the sixth such protest to take place in the valley this year. The trio consists of Maeve Jackson, 13, and her sister Grace Steadman, 15, both of Denmark, Maine, and their friend Maggie Peirce, 15, of Fryeburg, Maine. Originally, the protest was supposed to be held July 11, but it was postponed due to possibility of bad weather.
